2016 MadFish Petit Verdot

2016 MadFish Petit Verdot

A delightfully named variety, Petit Verdot, ‘Petit’ for the small sized berries & ‘Verdot’ meaning ‘green one ’referring to its sometime difficulty in ripening. One of Bordeaux’s classic grape varieties, Petit Verdot is prized for its colour, structure & lovely scent. Due to these qualities it is generally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot to add richness. In these Bordeaux blends it plays a minor role as small portions are grown due to the cool weather & its late ripening nature. However in the warmer climes of California, Spain & Australia plantings of it are increasing as it gains notoriety as a stand-alone varietal.

Our Petit Verdot was planted in our Margaret River, Willyabrup, Leston vineyard in 2000. Generally blended into our Cabernet Sauvignons, the 2016 harvest of Petit Verdot was exceptional & therefore, for the first time, we have bottled the entire pick as a single vineyard varietal.
